Also, one has to remember, George is an 18-yo slacker. She's not curious, she's not invested, she's not, well, anything.
One of the things I love about DLM is that through the course of the season, you can see George start to realize some of these things about herself, and what a waste that was. She starts to open up and let people in, and find some things worth sticking around for, and kind of starts to see being a reaper less as a curse than as an opportunity for a second chance at life.
I love arc-y stuff like that, and I really can't wait to see where season 2 is going to go. I think they planted the seeds for some really interesting possibilities, and it ought to be a lot of fun to watch.
There's a lot more pain, and a bigger struggle with bigger obstacles, and I find that more interesting than Jaye's situation, which seems to be more of an annoyance.
If Jaye ignores the talking animals, they keep her up all night singing. If George doesn't do her job, she may cease to exist. I'd still love to see another season of Wonderfalls, because they're both great, but I like DLM better. Maybe it's the swearing. I think Jaye would swear a lot if she was on Showtime instead of Fox.
